Much to my surprise, I noticed that Liberty's football program is in its 25th season at Division I this year.
I thought Id take suggestions for maybe putting together a top 5 for Division I games. (I can toss out the idea to our SID folks and see what they think)
My suggestions (not necessarily indicative of where they rank in school history)
1. October 14, 1989- Eric Green catches a Robbie Justino touchdown pass with 11 seconds to go and Liberty scores its first win over a Division I-A (now FBS) program with a 25-24 victory over Eastern Michigan
2. October 4, 2003- Liberty, down 28-3 in the fourth quarter, scores 28 unanswered points, capped by a Dre Barnes (I think...might have been Goodman on that as well) two point conversion to complete the biggest comeback in school history and knock off the Keydets 31-28
3. September 27, 2008- Freshman Matt Bevins drills a 24 yard field goal as time expires to lift the Flames to a 31-28 victory over the #23 Youngstown State Penguins. T
4. November 10, 2007- Liberty broke the 70 point barrier for just the second time in school history as Brock Smith threw for 246 yards and three TDs to lead Liberty to a 73-34 victory over VMI.
5. September 11, 2010- 9/11 was memorable for a different reason for Flames fans as Mike Brown threw for 276 yards and two TDs, the second of which provided the winning points as Liberty registered its second victory ever over a Division I-A/FBS opponent, defeating Ball State 27-23.
